The New York Giants‘ primary focus in 2026 should be putting quarterback Jaxson Dart in a position to soar. Does their latest hire do that?
On Tuesday, the Giants hired former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy for the same role. That news may make members of the fan base squirm.
Why hiring Matt Nagy won’t be a popular move among Giants fans
Nagy’s coaching reputation has taken a hit after a failed stint as a Chicago Bears head coach and a disappointing second tenure with the Chiefs.
The Bears hired Nagy as HC in 2018. His first season went great. He won the 2018 Coach of the Year award after guiding Chicago to a 12-4 record and making the playoffs. The rest of his tenure with the NFC North club was much less successful.
The coach went 22-27 in his final 49 games with the team. QB Mitch Trubisky, the second pick of the 2017 NFL Draft, failed to develop into a franchise staple under Nagy, finishing with a below-average 87.2 passer rating in four seasons with the Bears.
